  托福听力TPO50文本第一篇
  民意测验
  Straw Poll
  Listen to a conversation between a student and a political science
  professor.
  Student:I’m not sure if you know but I would like to go to the student
  government this year.
  Teacher: Oh, congratulations! I was in student government myself as an
  undergraduate. It taught me a lot about the political process. In fact, the
  experience solved my problem of what to do with my life. It really cemented my
  interest in becoming a political scientist.
  Student: Cool! Anyway, the reason I came by is we are getting ready to
  conduct a straw poll on campus, you know, hold an informal ballot since the
  general election is just a couple of months away. We want to get a field from
  the students' bodies political leanings, like who students are planning to vote
  for, which political party people identify with, that sort of thing.
  Teacher: I’m sure. I help students run the straw poll once years ago, uh,
  it was a lot of work. Mostly because we use paper ballots, and stayed up all
  night counting them. But if you use computers……
  Student: Yeah, we are creating a website for our students to be able to
  vote online. Em, we are looking for a faculty advisor to help, actually. I was
  hoping you might be interested.
  Teacher: Oh, I’m flattered, John. But my schedule is so jammed. I’m
  teaching two seminars, your intro-course, finishing up my research. But, what
  about Professor Clan? She is new in our department. Plus, she is a wiz with
  computers.
  Student: Ok, I will ask her.
  Teacher: So, have you decided on the topic for your term paper yet?
  Student: Not really.
  Teacher: Why not write about your straw poll? Since the paper is not due
  till after the election, you could include your results. Maybe compare them with
  the real election results.
  Student: But would that be enough? I mean, just comparing numbers?
  Teacher: Well, no, you need to provide some analysis, too. But I was
  thinking, there is a couple of local ballot questions this year. You know,
  referenda, the voters can either support or not support?
  Student: Right. There is one on whether to ban smoking in restaurants, and
  another one……I think is whether to spend tax dollars for a new sports arena in
  the city.
  Teacher: Ah, Ok. Here is an idea. In regular elections, the vast majority
  of voters ignore referenda. They vote for their favorite candidates but avoid
  ballot questions. We believe it's because voters aren’t familiar with the
  questions or don’t understand them. But actively educating people on ballot
  questions right before they vote can improve referendum participation rates.
  Student: In that case, maybe we could have our straw poll website providing
  information on the ballot questions, like how each proposal would affect
  students.
  Teacher: Exactly. And when you write your paper, you could compare the
  students’ referendum voting rate to the general publics. And include you own
  analysis of the results. Plus, there is plenty of publish research on referendum
  voting behavior.
  Student: Thanks, Professor Miller. I have no idea the straw poll can
  actually help me in my course work.
